Fantastic Four Reboot Scheduled for 2015

Reboots seem to be in fashion at the moment. No franchise is left unturned; particularly in the realm of comic book movies. Perhaps rightly so, seeing the success that the Batman and Spider-man reboots have seen. The next in this line of comic remakes appears to be the Marvel property Fantastic Four. This is not new news however, as the reboot has been pushed back to 6th March 2015, with 20th Century Fox extending their lease.

The reboot will be directed by Josh Trank, who has seen recent success with Chronicle. He will work from a screenplay written by Jeremy Slater and Michael Green. The finer details that Marvel fans may be interested in (such as whether the film will include an origin story or begin with the team already in existence) are currently unknown.

Other 20th Century Fox successes include the X-Men franchise, with spin-offs currently in the works; X-Men: Days of Future Past scheduled for release in 2013, and Hugh Jackman returns as The Wolverine, due to hit the big screen on 26th July 2013.
